HI
You would be better to down rate a 6 x 4 than to build a """very limited micro trailer """
The end use u describe around a 300-400kg capacity .
Around 500-600 kg gross weight
The 6x9 tyres are ""speed limited ""
The better 6x9 are expensive as a 13 inch tyre .
There are good and bad brands of tyre in the 13 inch
The brands of tyre for 6x9 are lucky to be of average quality
A 13 inch trailer tyre is far easier to source on a long trip
There are 2 types of 6x9 type rim
1 with the bearings that sit in the rim
never ever use these
2 a rim that requires a separate hub bearing hub
Better off building a 39mm round axle
hq bearings /hq stud pattern
13 inch rims
3 leaf ,springs
The top leaf carries most of the load
The middle carries some of the load
The base or secondary limits the movement under max load conditions and depending on its design also help with weight carrying
